the parting glass

of all the money that e'er i had

i spent it in good company

and all the harm i've ever done

alas it was to none but me

and all i've done for want of wit

to mem'ry now i can't recall

so fill to me the parting glass

good night and joy be to you all

so fill to me the parting glass

and drink a health whate'er befalls

and gently rise and softly call

good night and joy be to you all

of all the comrades that e'er i had

they're sorry for my going away

and all the sweethearts that e'er i had

they'd wish me one more day to stay

but since it fell unto my lot

that i should rise and you should not

i gently rise and softly call

good night and joy be to you all

fill to me the parting glass

and drink a health whate'er befalls

and gently rise and softly call

good night and joy be to you all

la la

but since it fell unto my lot

that i should rise and you should not

i gently rise and softly call

good night and joy be to you all

good night and joy be to you all.
